This was basically the perfect place to stay with kids. Who will write out the front door very much included but also not. Keep in mind you're not supposed to bring golf carts over here so if you're looking to be in the middle of everything with parts this is probably not the ideal place for you

Everything was wonderful! We have stayed in this unit before and were not disappointed. It was clean, well maintained, and had plenty of room for my family. Communication went smoothly, and we were responded to right away. My only suggestion would be to get a better, more supportive mattress for the 1st floor bedroom.

Cute place with a pool!

This is our second time staying at this property and we Love it! The bathrooms and kitchen are super clean, it’s right on the pool and a short drive to the beach. The decor is really cute! The carpets, upholstery and ceiling fans could really use a deep cleaning.

Fun Property with a great pool!

We stayed w our 5year old and teenager- and the property was perfect! Short car ride to the beach where you drive and park on the sand. The pool was well maintained with ample seating. The playground was clean and fun. Inside the home was very nicely decorated and had plenty of space for all of us to spread out and relax. Overall a great trip and we would definitely stay here again!

The place was cute but lacked supplies for people that are traveling. It was difficult to cook in the kitchen due to poor quality pans, broken can opener, etc. There were no instructions on where to park or where the unit was. The parking spots are marked with very small numbers but no indication of the unit number on the parking lot side of the building.

Great beach townhouse

Great beach townhouse decorated in.beach theme. It's not close to the beach but you can drive to the beach and drive on the beach. Golf carts are not allowed across hwy 361 so having a golf cart was a challenge because we had to leave it across the street at the golf city rental. Pool is fantastic right out the front door . It was a fantastic place to say !

Fantastic Spring Break Get away

The condo is located right next to the 2nd pool. It’s a great location to allow the kids to play in the pool while your in the shade. There was plenty of beds and the kitchen is equipped with pretty much everything you need. I would recommend you bring extra trash bags and dish soap if you plan on using the kitchen. We will definitely stay again, and recommend this condo. Side note, make sure you check your spam account for the rental agreement

Condo

The place was decorated cute but needed some repairs and deeper cleaning- dusty & sofa- pillows stained. door knob fell off inside bath, the washing machine made weird sound and blinds were torn up , probably by previous guest with pet. If you come bring everything, very limited things are given. ( 3 coffee pods, a few towels, little shampoo- not much) Bring extra blankets. Example is only 3 pods for 3 days

pillows need replaced. mattress needs replace or upgraded. very clean and nicely decorated without having too much clutter like some. pool needed some minor repairs around drains and different places some rough sharp areas not real good for for little ones.needs cleaned more often. these are all issues that could be remedied easily to make this condo even more appealing. we do want to come back sometime.

Little sad 😞

Property could have been cleaned better. The bed sheets and pillows didn’t look like they had been changed. Not enough towels. Couch had potato chips in the cushions. The handrails to the stairs were sticky. Didn’t look like it had been vacuumed or swept.

Just Another VRBO

Property in rough shape (photos are probably old). Lacked any cleaning supplies (no mop, broom, rags etc). Lacks any condiments (not even salt/pepper). Upstairs ceiling fan blew up when we turned it on, causing circuit breaker to blow. Called management at 10am and maintenance arrived at 4:30pm. Problem was not resolved. Mosquitos are out of control. Town has no redeeming qualities. We will never return.
